    Hey everyone.
    So my girlfriends b'day is coming up the second week of june. Her dad passed away suddenly last month and i wanted to treat her to a few days away. We decided we would like to take a few days and travel the cork coast, nothing too mad, but to visit all the popular seaside towns. Problem is I originally had it in my head I wanted to treat her and we would stay in inchydoney but you can't just book for 1 night, they have a 2 night minimum rule, which wouldn't suit us. Reason I had thought inchydoney was because of the location and the spa as well. So anyway, been thinking and googling and I'm running out of ideas so I'm looking for advice, basically a nice hotel, good rooms, good food, where u get treated properly. Any ideas? All help appreciated!!!

    Have a look at the West Cork Hotel in Skibbereen. You could dine in Good Things which is a fine restaurant in the middle of town, an easy walk from the hotel.

    Maritime Hotel in Bantry is nice.

    Where are you starting from, and how long are you planning on this trip?

    Starting in kerry, gonna go Glengarriff, bantry baltimore then on along the coast. Leaving on a Thursday morning, aiming to be home on the Sunday evening. So I suppose a hotel the far side of cork might be better, but obviously we can backtrack if needs be. Looking on TripAdvisor would put you off a lot of hotel, but you can't take all reviews as gospel I suppose.

    kenmare to Allihies-CTB-Bantry -kilcrohane-durrus-Mizzen-Schull-Skib is the nicest part of Cork IMO.

    hug the coast as much as possible.
    Night 1: Skibb
    Night 2: Kinsale (mcdonalds?)
    Night 3: cork city after coming back from Youghal
